Wild Flower Turf

In addition to sample rolls of their soil-less Wildflower Turf and Wildflower Roof Turf, Wildflower Turf Ltd is enlisting help from Operation Pollinator at the Creating Landscapes show.

Come to stand 302 to see how content a group of bumblebees are when they encounter a wildflower meadow.

A perspex box will be set up with a small patch of our wildflower meadow turf in full blossom, along with about 50 Buff-tailed Bumblebees (Bombus terrestris audax) gathering nectar and giving a close up view of how they go about their business.

Wildflower Turf managing director, James Hewetson-Brown, is also giving a seminar at 12pm, Tuesday 25th entitled - “Establishing wild flower meadows – turf or seed?” If this gets you buzzing, come and find out to create your own bee oasis

Even though it was a cold and blustery late afternoon for our first group, the Wildflower Talk and Tour around the production site on the farm was a great success. Starting with a talk given by James which lasted around half an hour, the group went out to brave the elements and see the turf growing at every stage of production.
